Day 43 - Final Steps

I walked 54461 steps on the trail today.I traveled about 28 miles today.I'm Done!I reached Utah at 2pm today and PapaBear was waiting to take me to Phoenix - we're on our way now.I overdid it the past few days and my legs really hurt, but nothing serious. The actual hiking today was fairly easy and the painted desert at the end was beautiful.If someone from troop 479 reads this, please tell Benjamin M. to take a look.This pic is of me at the end of the trail holding a solid silver 1961 quarter that Benjamin and his dad gave me for my trip. They said it might come in handy for trading since it is silver. I carried it the whole way and it often reminded me of everyone back home that I would see soon. It will forever remain one of my favorite things I've collected over the years. It's extra special because it was made the year I was born.
